A lot of guys have a simple plan for their lives. Make lots of money. Buy a cool car. Land a hot girl. The generous and efficient crew at 1320 Video brings us what could be the most (straight) masculine footage of all time, courtesy of Underground Racing.
The young lady in this clip may have long blonde hair, a nice figure and a skimpy outfit, but she’s going to have to do more than just sit there and draw attention. She’s going to have to do a little work showing how fast UR’s souped-up Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is. (Hint: The shop offers twin-turbo systems that will help the V10 Italian hit the 1,750-horsepower mark.)
But there’s something in it for her.
If Kayla can manage to grab a $100 bill off the dash at wide-open throttle, she can keep it.
The flattening acceleration of the blown bull keeps her from stuffing the Benjamin into the pocket of her short shorts, initially.
Using a very helpful work-around suggested by the driver, she ends up grasping the green.
Something tells me that the guy who ponied up the dough didn’t mind losing it…
WARNING NSFW: There are bikinis involved. That much should go without saying.
Derek Shiekhi's father raised him on cars. As a boy, Derek accompanied his dad as he bought classics such as post-WWII GM trucks and early Ford Mustang convertibles.
After loving cars for years and getting a bachelor's degree in Business Management, Derek decided to get an associate degree in journalism. His networking put him in contact with the editor of the Austin-American Statesman newspaper, who hired him to write freelance about automotive culture and events in Austin, Texas in 2013. One particular story led to him getting a certificate for learning the foundations of road racing.
While watching TV with his parents one fateful evening, he saw a commercial that changed his life. In it, Jeep touted the Wrangler as the Texas Auto Writers Association's "SUV of Texas." Derek knew he had to join the organization if he was going to advance as an automotive writer. He joined the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) in 2014 and was fortunate to meet several nice people who connected him to the representatives of several automakers and the people who could give him access to press vehicles (the first one he ever got the keys to was a Lexus LX 570). He's now a regular at TAWA's two main events: the Texas Auto Roundup in the spring and the Texas Truck Rodeo in the fall.
Over the past several years, Derek has learned how to drive off-road in various four-wheel-drive SUVs (he even camped out for two nights in a Land Rover), and driven around various tracks in hot hatches, muscle cars, and exotics. Several of his pieces, including his article about the 2015 Ford F-150 being crowned TAWA's 2014 "Truck of Texas" and his review of the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, have won awards in TAWA's annual Excellence in Craft Competition. Last year, his JK Forum profile of Wagonmaster, a business that restores Jeep Wagoneers, won prizes in TAWA’s signature writing contest and its pickup- and SUV-focused Texas Truck Invitational.
